Seeing as Mario is often considered the benchmark (and he's one of my mains in Melee/PM), I'll start there. Second/third will be R.O.B./Mewtwo depending on availability, mood, and which direction the wind is blowing. Next would be Fox, then Mega Man... then Random, or maybe someone I thought was interesting while battling against them.

Probably Mario, just to get used to how the game feels. Then, a Newcomer. Ridley is he's playable. But of the known ones... um... not sure. Rosalina or MegaMan, I Think. ^^

Definitely either Wii Fit Trainer or Villager just to test out someone new.

Then I'll hit up my boy Kirby and try on all my new hats. :seuss:

I gonna try first Olimar for its big change and my Main in brawl.
Then gonna try my two old Mains Kirby and Yoshi, I want them more powerful pls.
Then Use Villager firts then, Little Mac and Greninja.(Is it available in the start.)
Then use my Secondary character Classic melee Main Pikachu then the rest is a mystery.
Main are Olimar, Kirby, Yoshi and Villager I want to Main those to the top.

Whatever newcomers are available at the start, then veterans that have been changed. I don't see Megaman bring available from the start so probably Villager > Little Mac > Rosalina > WFT > Charizard > Dedede > Bowser > Olimar. Something like that.

I have a feeling there will be no unlockable characters this time around. I think everyone is going to be available.

I usually play first as said game's respective newcomer. It's what I've always done since the beginning.

I forgot who I played as first in Smash 64, probably either Kirby or Mario. In Melee I first played as the Ice Climbers and in Brawl I started out as Pit. So this time, I might either start off with Villager, Rosalina or Greninja which I assume will all be starters.

That would be totally terrible :s Kinda takes the fun out of unlocking a character, which has been a staple of the Smash series. It would be as stupid as removing Jigglypuff or Pokemon Trainer...oh wait.

When was Pokemon Trainer a staple to the series?
And when was Jigglypuff cut?

Hm! I can't remember who I started with in each game. My best guess would be...

64: Link, but I know I took to Yoshi very early.
Melee: Pretty sure I played Peach first because the idea of her fighting anybody was so intriguing at the time.
Brawl: Definitely Fox first to see if he was similar to my previous main... I definitely won't do this again, I think my initial disappointment specifically with Fox set the tone for the entire game until well after I'd beaten the campaign. I've long since recognized I had the wrong mindset going into Brawl, but I think this is what started it.
P:M: I downloaded it to play Mewtwo, so that's how I started.

Now, I'm actually sort of surprised I want to play Mario first. I'm sure I'll change my mind over time - I'm already thinking I'm curious enough about Greninja to start with him - He's not even a Pokemon I identify with very closely, I think I'm still sort of surprised with how he was revealed.

I'll jump into whichever mode is required/easiest to start unlocking characters, so it depends on whom they allow you choose from, but I'm most interested so far in WFT and Greninja, and of course G&W.

Mario and/or Pikachu first, just to get a feel of the game. Then I'll mess around with the newcomers(Probably Villager followed by Little Mac.) Unlock all the single player stuff to see who is available and figure it all out from there. And lots of Charizard.

Start with Ness just to get the feel of everything, then move on to the newcomers that interest me most, those newcomers being Little Mac, Greninja, and Mega Man.

I am honestly looking forward to Rosalina, Little Mac, and Greninja the most. They will be the first newcomers I try; probably not in that order.

I'm already set on maining Bowser since he looks so badass but I'll probably secondary Greninja for the sole purpose of using that taunt he did on that stick in the Pikmin stage.

Deff gotta go with all my girls haha. In PM I main Peach and Zelda, and second Ivysaur and ZSS.

With three of the four being in, I'll have to pick up Rosalina and WFT as well, if Greninja is a girl then her too

You know, I almost forgot about how much I'm looking forward to Bowser this time around. I've always liked him, but have been hesitant to take him seriously because of how easy he is to juggle. This game's Bowser is shaping up to look really good... I might try him first (third time I've changed my mind in one day? Seems legit).

Then what's with the "CHALLENGER APPROACHING!!" in Megaman's trailer and on the website?
Uh, cause he is a new character of course.

Well I just see it happening cause of the way Sakurai feels about spoilers. He is not putting a SSE like single player cause they will justspecial end up on youtube and nothing will be special or a surprise. So I feel he will do the same thing for the characters. Internet spoils everything, so why make anything special. Besides, what makes a character special to unlock vs starter?

I'd start with Rosalina if she's a starter character but if not, I'd start with Samus :)
